WHAT IS SYNC?
Thank you for purchasing SYNC!
SYNCis a hands-free communications and entertainment system that
literally ‘syncs up’ with all other multimedia systems in your vehicle.
SYNCdelivers convenience with voice activated calling and hands-free
conversations, digital media player command and control as well as easy
to use voice commands. The world outside your vehicle cabin may be
chaotic, but inside, with SYNC, it’s always a smooth ride. All you have
to do is sync it and stow it. We’ll take care of the rest.
Welcome to the new world of ingenuity and passion - technology that is
both fun and functional. Welcome to SYNC.

Note:The larger the number of songs the system has to index, the
longer indexing will take. Indexing times can vary from device to device.
Search/Play Genre:You can search for and play a specific genre (type)
of music. SYNCwill search all the data from your indexed music and, if
available, will begin to play that type of music.
Note:You can only play genres of music which are present in the
GENRE metadata tags that you have on your digital media player.
Similar music:You can tell the system to play music ‘similar’ to what
you are currently playing from the USB port. SYNCwill use the
metadata information of each indexed song to compile a playlist for you.
Search/play artist/track/album:You can search for a specific
artist/track or album from the music SYNChas indexed through the
USB port.
Refine:This allows you to ‘refine’ your previous commands. For
example, if you told SYNCto search and play all music by a certain
artist, you could then tell SYNCto “refine album” and choose a specific
album from the list to view. If you then select ‘Play’, the system will only
play music from that specific album.
